It improves dark circles and under-eye shadows by relocating protruding under-eye fat to sunken areas.
As we age, the fat under the eyes protrudes forward, and the area beneath it sinks, causing dark circles to deepen. Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgery that makes the under-eye area smooth and bright by transferring this protruding fat to fill the sunken areas without removing it.
The non-incisional method through the conjunctiva (inner eye) leaves no external scars and allows for rapid recovery; in cases of sagging severe enough to require skin trimming, an incision below the eyelashes is performed in conjunction.

It usually takes about 2 to 3 days to return to daily activities following a conjunctival approach, and the recovery period for swelling and bruising is 1 to 2 weeks. If you are traveling for a short period, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-return care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
